By leveraging the partnership, both parties will be able to provide mutual customers with a more comprehensive and integrated solution to address the growing cybersecurity challenges facing the automotive industry via tailored and customized solutions.

The partnership between itemis and Cybellum and their mutual vision will help automotive companies to identify and mitigate cyber risks with full context at every stage of the product lifecycle and the following:

• Improved traceability: The solution will automate and improve traceability for risks, threats, and vulnerabilities throughout the product lifecycle development to post-market. This will help automotive companies to identify and mitigate cyber risks and follow ISO 21434 guidelines quickly and easily.
• Better risk assessment: The combined solution will provide automotive companies with a more comprehensive view of their cyber risks. This will help them to make better decisions about how to mitigate those risks.
